For taller cultivars, choose from 'Adagio', 'Maiden Grass', 'Morning Light', 'Porcupine Grass', 'Cabaret', and Variegated Japanese Silver Grass (photo). These all grow from 5'-6'. Also consider the shorter, but striking, feather reed grass, Calamagrostis x acutiflora, the most common being 'Karl Foerster', the 2001 Perennial Plant of the Year. It grows to ony3'-4' but flowers before any others in May or early June and remains attractive all summer. |
